<p>The World Cup winner has been out of work since <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/beckham-ronaldo-zidane-who-best-galacticos-real-madrid-coach/blt8d40d983a0f912e3" target="_blank">bringing a second spell in charge of Real Madrid to a close</a> in 2021. He delivered Champions League glory to Santiago Bernabeu, but has resisted every effort to lure him back to the dugout.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>According to <a href="https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Article/Ce-contrat-a-plus-de-100-millions-d-euros-a-l-annee-que-zinedine-zidane-a-poliment-refuse/1566547 " target="_blank"><em>L’Equipe</em></a>, that includes a lucrative approach from the Middle East. It is claimed that Zidane was presented with a deal that was worth nine figures for just 12 months of work, but he still knocked that offer back.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Al-Hilal are the club said to have made an audacious move for Zidane. They have been without a permanent boss since parting ways with Jorge Jesus in May. They are preparing to grace the 2025 Club World Cup.</p><p>Zidane was wanted at the helm for that event, and the 2025-26 campaign - which may yet see <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-partner-georgina-rodriguez-speculation-sensational-u-turn-al-nassr-future/blt6f6aa19b88289737" target="_blank">Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo agree to remain in Saudi Arabia</a> as his record-breaking contract at Al-Nassr runs down.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Al-Hilal are, however, having to turn their attention elsewhere.

<p>Zidane, meanwhile, is prepared to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/zinedine-zidane-eyeing-dream-role-france-manager-after-putting-career-on-hold/blta3d0482173f5c97f" target="_blank">bide his time and wait on a dream role with the France national team</a>. Didier Deschamps has revealed that he will be stepping down from that post after the 2026 World Cup finals.</p>
